Jeff Bezos Bold Move: Why Giving Up Equity Was the Key to Building Amazon. In 1994, Jeff Bezos left his high-paying Wall Street job to launch Amazon, with just $10,000 in savings. To bring his vision of the “everything store” to life, he needed funding. Instead of holding on to most of the company, Bezos chose to give up equity to raise capital, hire top talent, and scale quickly. He believed that while ownership matters, execution is what truly drives success. By sharing equity, Bezos aligned investors and employees with Amazon’s long-term vision, fueling rapid growth. This bold decision paid off. Amazon became one of the world’s most valuable companies, and Bezos remains one of the wealthiest individuals globally. Remarkably, he has created more wealth for others—investors, employees, and stakeholders—than almost any entrepreneur in history. Bezos proves that shared success creates exponential growth.
